How J and j are drawn on this sheet
On the model row, capital J is drawn in 1 stroke. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the right and pulls down. Capital J has no top bar here: it pulls down and curves back in one stroke. Lowercase j has 2 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the right and pulls down; stroke 2 is the dot above it. Lowercase j drops below the baseline to the dotted line underneath. Below the first rows, dotted letters grow fainter row by row, down to one empty row at the end of the page.
